i'm not george bush, he was terrible on deficits. i thought the president brilliantly came back and said yeah he's different he's worse than bush. >> he's more to the right. >> that was great because i mean, the first thing that came out of mitt romney's mouth in answer to that question is hey i'm different from george bush because our oil drilling technology has improved. [ laughter ] >> which made it clear that he wasn't going to be able to distinguish himself from george bush on the economic plan, which was a disaster. the president said yeah, on economics, you are the same. on social policies, immigration planned parenthood issues, you're much worse way to the right of george bush. you're the mitt romney of the republican primary. >> bill: there were answers like that that left romney with nowhere to go and nothing to say. you get a lot of credit for being part of the team, congressman. we appreciate that. you know, you're part of our team too. >> it's great to be with you bill, and the guys. keep on trucking. >> bill: we'll see

bush conspiracy theory of course was always that john kerry absolutely destroyed george w. bush in that debate when bush was supposedly wearing a listening device. so if he was wearing a listening device whoever was supposedly whispering in the president's ear was not whispering things that helped him. that's always the part i didn't understand. but the 2012 version of that theory now is that mitt romney cheated in the debate against president obama this week not by having somebody feed him the answers through an ear piece but rather by bringing the illegal crib sheet on to the debate stage with him. you see, previous debate rules have set out very clearly that, quote, no props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by any candidate and yet have a look at this damning evidence. this is at the very beginning of the debate on wednesday night and as you'll be able to see clearly here what is that in your pocket? mr. romney very clearly pulls something from his right pocket and he pops it on to the podium in front of
